@DrEvanGowan Can understand politicians indulging in sound bites, but as Rogé Karma writes in The Atlantic [Since US tariffs were based on a country's trade surplus vs USA] "there is no clear or obvious path that countries could take to get those tariffs removed even if they wanted to..." and "The only way you will get a tariff reprieve is by groveling at Trump’s feet" which is a strange thing for LDP's Takaichi, CDP's Noda, and DPFP's Tamaki to wish upon #Japan's PM
